That Corpus Christi venue is a dump. Lol Zakk called it a “Shithole”! Backstage had stale doughnuts for the crew to snack on that looked like they had been left over by the last Band there. You could throw them against a wall and they were still in one piece lmao They didn’t have a working ATM at the venue, and didn’t take plastic. I hope they have gotten better. They did allow one of us to leave and go hit an ATM and come back for readmission.
